Medieval History
Here is Carol Robinson, on collaborative efforts regarding Medievalism for the 50th Intl. Congress on Medieval Studies:
Since its founding in 1976, the International Society for the Study of Medievalism, several other groups focused upon more specific aspects of medievalism have sprung up, including Medieval Electronic Multimedia Organization, which was founded in 2002 and focuses upon the neomedieval in film, television, video games, music, and other electronic/digital media. Still other groups have been founded that focus upon the post-post-medieval (fantasies of medievalist fantasies of the medieval), such as the Tales after Tolkien Society, which was founded just recently (2013). In addition, smaller conferences have sprouted off from this relatively large conference, such as ISSM?s Annual Conference on Medievalism, which will be hosting its 29th conference (October 24-25, 2014) at Georgia Institute of Technology. There is discussion that these three smaller organizations (ISSM, MEMO and TaTS) might work together to form a cloud conference (a conference functioning fully online), as MEMO and ISSM did for the 27th International Conference on Medievalism, but the real home for medievalism is to be found at the International Congress on Medieval Studies.
All three of these groups (ISSM, MEMO and TaTS) were founded at the International Congress on Medieval Studies, (Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI), which will be celebrating its 50th Anniversary, May 14-17, 2015....
